Sorry if this has been discussed, I searched the archive and didn't
find what I need:
In SampleApp6, I noticed that if I used an 'annoymous' complexType for
the element purchaseOrder, I would get the following error:
[javac]
/Users/Shared/Library/java/jaxb/examples/users-guide/SampleApp6/primer/
myPo/PurchaseOrderElement.java:66: cyclic inheritance involving
primer.myPo.PurchaseOrderElement
[javac] public interface POType {
[javac] ^
Here's the relevant schema change:
...
<xsd:element name="purchaseOrder">
<xsd:complexType>
<xsd:annotation>
<xsd:appinfo>
<jxb:class name="POType">
<jxb:javadoc>
A <b>Purchase Order</b> consists of addresses and items.
</jxb:javadoc>
</jxb:class>
</xsd:appinfo>
</xsd:annotation>
<xsd:sequence>
<xsd:element name="shipTo" type="USAddress"/>
<xsd:element name="billTo" type="USAddress"/>
<xsd:element ref="comment" minOccurs="0"/>
<xsd:element name="items" type="Items"/>
</xsd:sequence>
<xsd:attribute name="orderDate" type="xsd:date"/>
</xsd:complexType>
</xsd:element>
...
of course, it used to be just
<xsd:element name="purchaseOrder" type="PurchaseOrderType"/>
with an explicit named complexType declaration later.
Question: is this only a problem on Mac OS X? I don't have a PC or
Solaris to try this out.
thanks much.
ps: I know the workaround; just curious.
